Where Winds Meet: how to unlock every trophy

The first trophies you’ll unlock are the bronze ones. They pop naturally as you progress through the adventure. You complete the major story zones and automatically earn Unspoken Secrets of the Past (Palace of Records), Source of the Peaceful Shore, Secrets of the Jinming Basin, or Savior of Kaifeng with the Falling Sky questline. You’ll also run into mandatory fights such as Broken Spear Victory for defeating the Nameless General, or lighter moments like the Meow Meow puzzles: five to unlock Feline Seer: Kaifeng, ten for Master’s Paws: Qinghe. You’ll even transform into a dog once to validate A Dog’s Life. A failed training session grants The Old Man Won, improving your gear to level 2 unlocks First Resonance, reaching level 30 in any Martial Style nets Gesture Master, mastering the Panacea Fan or the Strategic Sword counts toward your progression, and moving forward in the Dark Surge unlocks The First Discovery. To finish the bronze set, complete a few Encounters in Qinghe and Kaifeng (Whims of Fate) and follow the Granary of Abundance case to earn A Promise Kept, before finally getting Voice of the Valiant.

Once that’s done, the silver trophies ask you to be more precise. You need to defeat the Void King in under one minute (Abyss Victory) or Zheng E in under three minutes (Granary Time Trial), and face the Wolf Maiden for Mighty Wolf Rider. Exploration gets serious: open 40 chests in Kaifeng and 40 in Qinghe (Every Corner Explored), climb to the very top of Moon-Veil Mountain Tower in Qinghe (Horizon Seeker), and reach the Beast Reverie in Kaifeng (Stage King). You also need to refine your builds by equipping four Internal Arts (Power of the Four) and fully harmonizing an epic gear piece (Perfect Harmony). And along the way, finish the Aura Peak storyline to unlock Buddha’s Glow.

For the gold trophies, the game really pushes you. You must defeat the Demonic Goose (Goose Slayer), sometimes requiring you to intentionally lose the first duel to unlock the real fight. Then you’ll collect 150 curiosities in Qinghe and 250 in Kaifeng for the Reactive trophies. Raise your average Improvement level to 5 (Released Echoes) and unlock Qinghe’s main ending (Final Destiny: Qinghe).
